Yay! - an Avro Monocar. I have a soft spot for those. :)
That last picture is priceless :D
Well that makes a change from having the propeller at the front :D
I love this photo Bob, it completely captures the spirit of vintage hillclimbing. It must've been a cold day though judging by the way those two...
Cyclecar plans from 'Tout Le Systeme D' magazine April 1952. La Voiturette Deux Places.
Oh now that is beautiful. Makes my heart go pita pat it does :)
A Bantam chassis, that should be absolutely perfect :)
That's a very useful article Ade, thanks for sharing :) The wooden aircraft book from Amazon will be going down on my 'must buy' list too.
Thanks for posting further information about your car Jadea :) It's good to know more about your car's unique history which makes it much more to...
Your Jappic replica is starting to seriously look like a cyclecar Ade. Progress so far is a great testament to your skills and workmanship.
Feel free to bore us anytime with photos and information about your Gnariel :D
What a great photo. Madeleine looks like she's holding on for grim death though. Here's another old plan that someone might find useful and a...
Unfortunately they aren't my scans and despite much searching I haven't been able to find an actual copy of the book itself :mad: Otherwise I'd...
Wow, that's taking, 'Rudge it, don't trudge it,' to a whole new level. :eek:
Two square fours! Oh that would be so rare. Very interesting to see the fabric bodied Salmson as well.
Thank you for the daily cyclecar picture pick-me-up Bob. I really missed that while I was without an internet connection. A comment on the 'Red...
The plans are from a French magazine named 'Systeme D' and over the years they have published a considerable number of small vehicle related...
I've come to a decision, - now that the weather is improving and Spring is on the way I am going to build myself a cyclecar using one of the plans...
I think I may have mentioned this book before; - it's a good read ( so long as you can read French ) with good drawings and diagrams to help the...
I'm not terribly well today, but I spent some time reviewing prices of old car parts on our local on-line auction website here in New Zealand....
That certainly is an interesting utility box carrier Bob, but I'm going to hazard a guess and say that it's most probably pedal powered rather...
What an amazing and delightful project :) Using a Morrie Minor bonnet as the basis for the tapered body panels at the rear of the car is clever....
I must say that I've always preferred the look of the two cylinder cars to the four cylinder ones. This is a 1913 model.
More Phanomobil :) The first three photos are of a 1920 'kit of parts' that I thought I'd post because they show some details not normally seen...
This Spacke Deluxe cyclecar was built with provision for roll motion.
The only Bedelia I've ever seen with a tilted back centre pivot was this one in a museum in Australia. It was used a good deal by its first owner...
I really like Bedelia cyclecars, - to my mind they are a perfect example of the breed. Completely simple and practical, but with their own unique...
Oh dear I'm so disappointed......:( I shall have to cheer myself up with this lovely old Bedelia advertisement :D
That's the thing I enjoy most about this topic Bob, - all the bits and pieces of knowledge and ancient cyclecar lore that are shared by everyone...
Yes, apparently they were used by the US army during WW1 to run pumps for clearing water out of the trenches & etc and a great many were sold on...
